NYT Hires Editor Who Absolutely Hates “Dumbass Fu*king White People”
The New York Times has hired a bigot, whose tweets from just 48 months ago would have gotten Roseanne Barr excommunicated from the planet were the race simply changed.
On Wednesday the paper announced the addition of Sarah Jeong to their editorial board as the “newest in a fab group of recent additions.” As the Daily Caller‘s Amber Athey notes, Jeong previously wrote for the Verge and authored a book about online harassment and free speech titled “The Internet of Garbage.”
One of Jeong’s tweets from 2016 reads: “Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants.” Another reads “oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men”
we should address the data head-on
As a thought exercise, let’s simply change the race Jeong hates so much to black people, as the Twitter account@NotRacistWhen does, and see how she comes off:
“Dumbass fucking black people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants”
“oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old black men”
“I dare you to get on Wikipedia and play “Things black people can definitely take credit for.” It’s really hard.”
“1. black men are bullshit”
“Black people have stopped breeding. You’ll all go extinct soon. This was my plan all along.”
“#CancelBlackPeople”
“These are inconvenient truths but we should thoroughly examine them instead of giving onto the PC lie that black people don’t smell bad”
Now you might be thinking – “Maybe the NYT simply overlooked these tweets when hiring her, and she’ll surely be fired like they did with Quinn Norton after her derogatory tweets about black and gay people were unearthed.”
Nope, In fact, the paper not only says they knew about the tweets as part of her vetting process – they said her bigoted tweets were simply imitating other racists!
“Her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her a subject of frequent online harassment. For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers.”

Roseanne Barr, meanwhile, said she didn’t know former Obama admin staffer Valerie Jarrett was black when she compared her to a character from “Planet of the Apes,” resulting in ABC swiftly firing her from the reboot of her eponymous show.
She should have just said she was mimicking racists!
Note:
1. New York Times does not use the word “racist” to describe Jeong’s tweets.
Richard Spencer is more subtle than this woman.
2. I’m not sure, “I imitated internet commenters” is really the kind of editorial decision-making fit for America’s top newspaper.

If Sarah Jeong thinks white men really suck wait until meets the rest of the opinion columnists at the New York Times.

She literally tweeted how she gets a sick “joy” out of “being cruel to old white men,” & celebrated white people going extinct, yet she’s the victim?
Give me a break.
Jeong’s bigoted views about (conservative) white people are SHARED by arrogant media elites, including the NYT.
She referred to an entire race of people as “goblins” and declared that race was the primary determinant of one’s value as a human being. That’s the literal dictionary definition of racism, @davidjoachim.
